<br />Erin,

In this predominantly male forum, we are the captains of our vessels, with some of us referring to our significant others with the term of endearment/title of "Admiral", a higher rank than a mere captain, and whose orders must be obeyed.

The key word being "some".....for others, terms like "The Admiral" and "SWMBO" are concepts that simply do not exist.

Thanks. I was kidding, which is why I added the wink. My admiral will probably be the one doing the rebuild or replacement.

<br /> When deciding, however, the Admiral's vote is probably the determining factor. Good luck.

I had gotten pretty accustomed to the mud-flat (low tide) smell in various friends' boats with marine heads, although I'd say the odor is even a little more acidic than marsh gas. My C-25 had a porta-potti... My latest boat has a plumbed-in head with an integral holding tank. The difference is it runs off my fresh water system instead of salt water. With some ordinary head chemicals, it's totally odorless. Salt water makes the game very hard to win. Owners just get used to it.

Not necessarily, Dave. I didn't get used to it, I learned how to use it.
